Manners are not innate, but adopted by observation. Children need a "second voice" to reinforce the importance of manners in their everyday life. Children of this age group are interested in rules with a strong desire to do the "right" thing. Friendships are becoming a very important part of their lives. Learning through out active play, games and puzzles are very effective methods of teaching for this age group. Aware of the developmental stages of this age group, Polished Image will incorporate fun, interactive programs that will meet their needs. Children will learn proper manners that will boost their self confidence and make them shine. No more uncomfortable dining or social experiences at relatives' homes or restaurants after this program!

Picture your teen at a formal dinner table, totally embarrassed, but yet not wanting to show the world that he/she doesn't have a clue which fork to use first. Teens' self worth and self confidence are strongly influenced by their social interactions. They need a positive sense of self to fit into the world outside their family. Role playing, discussions and interactive activities are great learning tools for these teens.
